numerous admirers bestowed the least
attention upon other lsdies. This was
! but anOfher illustration OF the misuse OF
| the word. The selfish belle hsd never
known love, therefore she could moi
know jealousy. She was simply envioHs
CT the power which any woman possessed
/ to draw her MIXERS from her side. She
desired to be nonopolist in the affairs
Of the heart Jay Gouldess in the af-
/ fectIonsl market, and she resented the
( interference of any small dealer or dab

| Men exhibit this sort OF feeling to s de-

! tent WaicA mars the progress of woman
everywhere.
! l have heard physicians Of excellent
standing decry ezch other with re0cor
musicians are VIGOROUSLY enYious Of one
another; authors, actors, and even bust
ness men, often forget that the world il
large enough for all, and that success
was never obtained by pulling d0wn au-
other man.
But thia feeling which takes root in
self AID directs its venom towards
other peoples achievements and
! possessions is not JEALOUSY. II
is only foolish envy-the mesueft
attribute OF the human mind; The little
! fox wAich spoils the vines, the rat wnica
under-mines the wall OF a noble charscl
ter, the moth which destroys the beautitul
fabric of the soul. 1t is the child of sell
! fiShness and~the companion OF hate. Jesl-
ousy is the unworthy child of love- bad

Chsstised before he works nam to his

Love may exist without JEALOUSY, as 6
msn may live without offspring. Bat
jealousy cannot live without love say
more than al infant can Oe born without
! parents. AS the rule OF the world Is that
people beget offspring, 80 It is the rule
that love Oegets Jealousy.

There are two rare types Of woman
who are never susceptible to jealousy.
One is the perfectly humble being, utterly
devoid OF individuality, Who lives in q
state CT wondering amaZament that she
should be the recipient of her lovers
Iea-t regard. She Is grateful for smile
and overwhelmed st word Of praise.
She finds grester ~ IN loving than in
bang loved, and Is faint echo Of the
masculine mind in sll her opinions

She has the nature Of . serf. the devotion
OF g dog, and if he Eeelrcts her for otaer
women as lie usually does she never
complains, as in lis will sac feds her
only pleasure. Her nature is mid ,patieat,
and constant, and devoid OF passion snG
intensity.
The other type OF woman no knows
no JEALOUSY is quite her opposite. she If

The husband utterly ignored the wife for
her offspring. She was 3 secondary con-
sideration, neglected and re5uked where
the children were csressed end appre-

thoughts had entered his mind, and wiz

Jealousy OF such petty type ss hers is
surely the dWarfted and imbectle child of !

of sensible and noble duties, is less given
to unreasoning Jealousy than the idler
who dWells in q world of her own imagin-l

And the woman who receives the lave
and devotion, which is her birthright, /
seldom feels the pangs OF jealousy. a
